Threatening behaviour when parking

Hello, feeling very cross about a parking related situation.

I teach on supply. Was called up this morning to teach a class. Drove to the school, knew I wouldn't be able to get through the gate as required a fob to open, and small chance of office staff being there when I arrived. Wanted to get in and sorted soon as possible. So drove back out into the estate to find somewhere suitable to park.

Picked a spot, was over 3 metres down the road from the dropped curb of the nearest house. And not opposite any other drive. Perfect.

As I get out, an elderly chap comes out from a house on other side of road, ranting and raving. Along the lines of 'we' shouldn't have to be looking at your car all day, p*** off with it somewhere else. This is a private road we paid for it with our houses. I'm fed up of people parking on the road.

I should move it to the council estate.

I calmly explained that there were no parking restrictions, this was a public road, I had every right to park there and had also made sure out of courtesy that I wouldn't be inconveniencing anyone with where I'd put it.

More swearing from the man followed.
He went on to threaten that I may come back to find a burst tire if I left it there. I walked away. He shouted after something along the lines of 'I warned you'.

I did, which I have to say I'm incredibly angry about, return and moved my car, after once again explaining that I had every right to be there, couldn't do with the agro, and the man sounded like he was at risk of giving himself a pulmonary he was acting so rediculously.

Now though I'm still feeling quite stressed after it. I felt compelled to move my car which was legally and couteously (I'd thought) parked because of the belligerent and threatening behaviour of this man.

I feel like I should report it incase this has or will happen to someone else. What would you do?

I wouldn't worry about it. He'll be dead in a couple of years. You won't.

But make sure to park there in future, just to irritate him.

First it's many then it's few. Any more adjectives to spare?

Not going to rejoin this thread, feel free to make up something else to excuse your original tasteless outburst.

Haha!! Pure semantics my dear! I'm not trying to excuse my original post at all - I fully stand by what I posted. I was just pointing out the flaws in your post.

Some salt and vinegar for the chip you appear to be carrying around there?!
